Tapirs are not known for their speed; they typically move at a leisurely pace. On average, they can run at speeds of about 15 miles per hour (24 kilometers per hour) in short bursts when threatened. However, they primarily rely on their excellent swimming skills and camouflage to evade predators rather than speed.
The 'Baird's' part of the name Baird's tapir comes from Baird. The 'tapir' element is derived from the word tapir, because it is a tapir.
